Friday, April 30, 2020
What an incredibly challenging time it is. I miss the classroom, I miss the rehearsal room, I miss the theatre. The world is scary and lonely, I know. I know it seems like there is no way to continue making our work because of these circumstances. And it's important to know that you don't have to, your only obligation is to get yourself through this weird time. But if you do have some thing to make, to propose, to say, I hope that you will make it in any way you can. Because art is not just a way distract ourselves from the world, art is a blueprint for the way the world could be. And when this is over we're going to need a few blueprints. For me, writing or making anything huge right now has felt super overwhelming so I'm writing and making teeny things. Teeny Tiny things, to be exact! I've began writing and posting my QuaranTeeny Tiny Play Series on the Lauren Reinhard Performance Works Facebook and Instagram pages. I've also started a Quarantine Sessions Series of tiny pieces that are also being posted to the FB and IG pages. I decided to post these small works in hopes we might find a community somehow in our work. If you feel so inclined head over to FB and/or IG to see what I'm up to. Let's do it together.
